Upcoming Deadlines (3) Member & Institutional News(4-5) Archives Spotlight Contd. (11)

Dear SFA Members,

Happy American Archives Month! Last year through SFA’s efforts we were able to secure a proclamation from Florida’s Governor that each October is Florida Archives Month. The proclamation emphasizes the important role of archives and archivists in documenting and promoting Florida’s history.

Last year we also rolled out our Archives Month Committee and a

number of activities including an online exhibit, preservation workshops, and a poster. Again this year, SFA has dedicated a portion of the website to activities held during the month of October, an online exhibit, and for the first time this year we are promoting archivist “meetups” in your communities. Many of us only see each other at the annual meeting, and these meetups are a way to stay connected. They are also an opportunity to reach out to other archivists who may be in your region, but not part of a professional organization, or are not typically able to attend the annual meeting.

In late August, the Executive Board met to discuss several items that have resulted in great news to share. We have made considerable progress on the Judith Beale video and will have a final version in the next couple of months. The video will be used to market SFA’s scholarship fund, which is named in Judith’s honor. The format of our Journal has been decided, and Vice-President William Modrow as our first editor will be making a formal announcement in the coming weeks. Our Web Communications Team has been working tirelessly to organize and streamline our online presence, as well as enhance our website’s functionality and security.

ARCHIVES SPOTLIGHT

Erik T. Robinson, Archivist

The Florida Supreme Court Historical Society Way back in 1982, Supreme Court Librarian Brian Polley had a great idea: enlist the assistance and good will of leading lights of Florida’s legal community to seek out, collect, preserve, and make publicly available the important historical documents of the members of Florida’s highest court. He brought the Florida Su-preme Court Historical Society into existence with the help of those respected leaders of the legal community, and, together, they started the process of creating the collection. That collection has grown to include papers of some 26 justices of the Sunshine State’s highest court. It currently comprises over 700 boxes (more than 1,000 cubic feet) of records, from confidential opinion files, to administrative files of the court, and the work of a number of special court commissions that have created a more just legal system in the twenty-first century.

Library staff and historical society members have sought out and collected primary documents of Florida Supreme Court history. In 2011, for instance, Tallahas-see attorney Bill Davis helped secure five personal dia-ries of Justice Armstead Brown. These five small books, all from the 1940s, contain a wealth of first-hand impressions of the day-to-day workings of the court, life in the United States on the home front during World War II, and what life was like in Tallahassee at the beginning of the great expansion of our state’s pop-ulation. They are vivid and important historical docu-ments—reflecting the great value of the collections to Florida history.

Pioneer Days in Florida Materials Available Online

In April 2013, the University of Florida’s P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History received a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commis-sion (NHPRC) to digitize a large swath of its 19th cen-tury manuscript materials. Since the initiation of the grant, The Pioneer Days in Florida: Diaries and Letters from Settling the Sunshine State, 1800-1900 Collection, has digitized over 44,000 pages of diaries and manu-scripts describing life in Florida from the end of the colonial period to the beginnings of the modern state. Pioneer Days in Florida’s materials range in date from 1784-1912 and concern native peoples, Europe-an settlers, soldiers, women, and enslaved and free African Americans. Key themes within the collection include westward expansion, assertions of Manifest Destiny, conflict between European settlers and Native Americans, and Florida's development into a modern state. Two family papers collections, one set of diaries, and numerous letters contain materials relating the aftermath of the American Revolution and the United States acquisition of Florida from Spain. Five collec-tions of family papers, three sets of diaries, and many letters give Floridians' accounts of the Civil War. Other materials document the tensions that led to the Semi-nole Wars. Pioneer Days in Florida addresses the mission of NHPRC to “promote the preservation and use of Amer-ica's documentary heritage essential to understanding our democracy, history, and culture” by creating an online digital version of rare materials documenting frontier life in Florida. Pioneer Days in Florida’s diaries and manuscripts have been made available to the public through the University of Florida Digital Collections (UFDC). UFDC hosts more than 300 outstanding digital collections, containing over 8 million pages, covering over 78 thousand subjects in rare books, manuscripts, antique maps, children's literature, newspapers, theses and dissertations, data sets, photographs, oral histories, and more for permanent access and preservation.

Member & Institutional News Re-vamping and Re-launching Illuminations

Krystal Thomas, Digital Archivist, FSU

Florida State University Spe-cial Collections & Archives started Illumi-nations, our blog, back in early 2011. A

lot has happened for us since then. The division grew to include Cataloging & Description and the Digital Library Center. Our staff has also changed drastically and the blog has been, while not neglected, not used to really promote our work and collections well. With the formation of a Social Media and Website Working Group for our division, we’re working on re-vamping the look and feel of our blog and re-launching it with a steady stream of content.

Maintaining a blog isn’t easy; it requires many peo-ple to work together on a set calendar to keep lots of content going out to readers. It also requires using multiple channels to get out the fact that the blog is there and active to the professional community and then the wider audience, the public. Our working group put some things into play that help us maintain the blog. The most important tool we created is a shared Google Calendar where we can not only schedule blog posts but also keep track of upcom-ing events that we need to commemorate like an au-thor’s birthday, a scientist’s death or an upcoming hol-iday weekend to mark. We also, being a football school, keep track of the fall football schedule to tie into our various social media channels. We created blog guidelines that cover everything from how to title your post to what size image you can include and how to properly cite it. These guidelines help keep our posts uniform-looking while still giving our many authors the chance to use their own voice to talk about their subject. An active blog is always a work in progress as you rethink how to use it to engage with your audience. The new Illuminations is just the next step for FSU Special Collections & Archives in using a blog platform to get out our message.

Raising Archives to New Heights in Central Florida:

A contemporary view of the Tower, looking towards the south.

On September 27, members of the Suncoast Infor-mation Specialists (SIS) enjoyed a rare opportunity to tour the archives and library at Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales. Established in 1983, SIS has served as a networking, mutual support, and professional organi-zation for archivists, librarians, and information scien-tists from all types of libraries and cultural heritage institutions in the greater Tampa Bay area. SIS ar-ranged for a tour of the archives and library housed within the upper floors of the majestic Tower, and SIS members and guests also had an opportunity to learn about the collections from Joy Banks, a librarian who built the collections and developed the archives during her four-year tenure as a “lone arranger.”

In the 1920s, Edward W. Bok saw the beauty of cen-tral Florida rapidly eroding to settlements of people. He purchased what is now the Gardens in order to pre-serve a patch of that beauty on Iron Mountain, one of

the highest points in peninsular Florida, along the Lake Wales Ridge. Bok intended the land to be a sanc-tuary for “birds and people” and envisioned the Gar-dens and its accompanying Tower (which houses a 60-bell carillon) as part of his life’s mission to live up to his grandmother’s motto: “Make the world a bit better or more beautiful because you have lived in it.”

For the Sanctuary’s landscape design, Bok hired Frederick Law Olmstead Jr., a landscape architect who designed the National Mall in Washington, D.C. as well as developing state and national park areas through-out the United States. As the grounds took shape, work crews constructed the impressive 205-foot neo-Gothic Singing Tower atop the 295-foot summit. The Tower’s opening in 1929, along with the Good Roads Move-ment that had finally brought improved automobile transportation networks to areas well beyond the rail-road lines, ushered in an era of Florida roadside

attractions that covered the peninsula long before the opening of Walt Disney World in 1971.

Before leading a tour of the tower, Joy Banks offered a presentation entitled Always be Prepared: A Librar-ian’s Guide to New Beginnings. She described the unique duties of serving as quite possibly the only dedicated carillon librarian in the world. She en-couraged those in attendance to maintain contacts with allied disciplines, such as museum organiza-tions. When she secured the position of Bok Tower librarian, Banks found herself “suddenly solo” as the first professional librarian the Gardens had ever employed. She encouraged all of us to avoid being an “island.” Although perched within a Singing Tow-er surrounded by a mote on the other side of a locked gate, Banks has built strong networks with archival and library organizations, as well as the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America. She em-phasized the value of proactively informing others at Bok Tower about notable events and anniver-saries that tie into the Garden’s 85-year history, even if few of them regularly walk on the other side of the brass-plated Tower door to visit the archives and library.

As we entered the Tower, we saw the impressive ceramic tile and vaulted ceiling of the Founder’s Room. After climbing to the second level, Banks showed us the Chao Research Center, a windowless archival area constructed in 2008 above the concave ceiling of the Founder’s Room. Much of this area includes manu-script collections from Bok Tower and other carillons. Some of the materials are being organized as part of a

2013 Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Ar-chives grant offered through the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) to organize the vertical files of the Anton Brees Carillon Library. This CLIR grant continues through 2016.

After examining the archival collections and some ephemera that illustrates the history of Bok Tower, we ascended the stairs (or took the vintage 1929 ele-vator) to the Anton Brees Carillon Library at the fifth level of the tower. The library houses approximately 6,500 cataloged items and grew from the original collection of the Tower’s first carillonneur, Anton Brees. The scope of the library includes the interna-tional carillon community—information for and about both carillons and carillonneurs. It is com-posed of the primary collection, carillon scores, and the secondary collection, general carillon reference. Those interested in seeing the Carillonneur’s Office and Studio also enjoyed an unparalleled view of the

rolling ridges along Polk County. Above them (and perched above the archives and library) hung bells weighing from less than twelve pounds to more than eleven tons.

Bok Tower Gardens preserves nature’s beauty on one of the highest points in Florida. During her four years as an archivist and librarian, Joy Banks elevated the status of the collections within the Singing Tower to new heights. Cataloging, arrangement and description, conservation, and digitization efforts assure that this cultural treasure’s history and collections—along with the joyful noise emanating from the Tower—will con-tinue to be appreciated for future generations.

Scrapbooks: The Original Social Media Katherine Hoarn, Graduate Assistant, FSU Special Collections

Rebecca Bramlett, Graduate Assistant, FSU Special Collections

The Florida State University Special Collections Fall exhibit, entitled “That I May Remember: the Scrap-books of Florida State College for Women (1905-1947),” showcases many of the scrapbooks from the FSU Heritage Protocol collection. The exhibit explores the scrapbook as a means of communication, focusing on the themes of school spirit, friendship, and creating self.

As a whole, the FSCW scrapbooks provide an invalu-able insight into what student life was like at one of the largest women’s colleges in the country – a college with rigorous academics, zealous sporting traditions, vibrant community life, and even secret societies. Indi-vidually, they present a fractured narrative of each student’s college journey, as seen through her own eyes. Each scrapbook is a window through which a viewer can catch glimpses of a student's life, concerns, and personality. As a means of creating and communi-cating self, scrapbooks operate in much the same way that popular forms of social media do for students to-day.

Facebook Wall posts, friends, messages, event invi-tations, and “likes” – these conventions are not reserved for the twenty-first century. Many of the FSCW scrapbooks contain autograph pages signed by the scrap-book creator’s friends. Like a Facebook wall, these pages list a per-son’s friends along with personal notes from each of them. Notes can be perfunc-tory or rife with in-side jokes and hidden meanings. On Laura Quayle Benson’s auto-graph page (HP 2007-041), Callie Umstead

The Florida Archivist 8

writes, “I love Laura “heaps” - I wonder if (?) does?” Lura Matthews asks, “How about another hike?”

Invitations to join sports teams, honor societies, and sororities are given pride of place as signs of belonging to a group, and collections of event programs read like

a personal news feed of where each girl was on a given date. Flipping through the FSCW scrapbooks is a bit like scrolling through each girl’s Facebook wall. It gives one a sense of who she was at a certain point in her life – who she was friends with, what she did, what her interests were – even if the deeper, more personal meanings of the scrapbooks are sometimes obscured from the outside observer.

Tumblr and Pinterest

Creating a scrapbook is an act of curation – carefully selecting texts and images and arranging them in a meaningful way. Each item conveys meaning. While the creators of scrapbooks manipulate physical ob-jects, users of sites like Pinterest and Tumblr use digi-tal media to create collections of text, image, video,

and sound meant to express something of themselves. These pages speak of a timeless need to organize our thoughts, express ourselves visually, and voice our opinions, whether in a private scrapbook or a public webpage.

Instagram

Photographs are a common feature of almost all of the FSCW scrapbooks, and many of these photos include

captions or “tags” written by the scrapbook’s creator. Laura Quayle Benson notes in her scrapbook (HP 2007-041), “Believe us--persimmons are good!” A photograph of a group of girls huddled together ex-claims, “Table No. 23 (?) at FSC!” These social layers added to photographs in scrapbooks are similar to the tags and descriptions users add to photos in social me-dia sites like Instagram. A picture might say a thou-sand words, but we cannot seem to resist adding our own.

Photo collage page from the Laura Quale Benson Scrapbook.

Scrapbooks are created for the self and for posteri-ty. While they present plenty of cataloging and preser-vation challenges for archivists, they are at least phys-ical objects that can be stored and displayed as such. Students today are also telling their own stories, but they are doing so through social media sites like Face-book, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Instagram. How these stories will be preserved and shared with future gen-erations remains to be seen.

“That I May Remember: the Scrapbooks of Florida State College for Women (1905-1947)” will be on dis-play in the Strozier Library Exhibit Space from Octo-ber 15th through December 1st.

Heartbeats, Lifelines, and Legacies Emily Gibson, Visiting Archivist, Pan Am World American Airways, Inc., University of Miami

Laura Capell, Electronic Records Archivist, University of Miami

It may sound anachronistic to refer to “life” in an archive when you consider that archives house the collections of peo-ple and places past. However, life is pre-cisely what archives are all about. Case in point: the Pan Am Collection.

With over 1,500 boxes of historical materials, the Pan American World Airways, Inc. corporate records touch upon many different aspects of 20th century his-tory, not just in the United States, but around the world. Since it’s such a rich treasure trove of infor-mation, the collection is incredibly popular with re-searchers interested in an immense variety of topics. Researchers are the heartbeat of our collections. Many Pan Am researchers are for-mer Pan Am employees or family members of former employees in-terested in documenting their fami-ly history. Aviation enthusiasts also like to use the collection, since Pan Am played such a significant role in aviation history. The collection is also popular with scholars re-searching a wide variety of histori-cal, social, and cultural topics. Sometimes our collections are lifelines. Take for example a Vi-etnam veteran who contacted UML Special Collections searching for documentation in support of his disability claim. Information from a Pan Am timetable from Southeast Asia from the early 1970s provided the final piece of information need-ed for the VA to approve his claim. As an archivist, it’s incredibly ful-filling to connect people with the information they’re looking for, es-pecially when that information

has the power to change a life. The Pan American World Airways, Inc. corporate records may be the linchpin of Pan Am’s legacy, but the motor driving the legacy are organizations like the Pan Am Historical Foundation and World Wings Inter-national whose missions are to educate people about Pan Am’s history and connect the people who made that history possible. These organizations keep Pan Am alive. The Pan Am Collection includes the records of the Pan Am Historical Foundation, Inc. and World Wings International, Inc., and the personal papers of dozens of former employees, in addition to the corporate rec-ords. These collections, and the relationships we forge with the people and organizations who donate them, are a very important part of life in UML Special Collec-tions.

Have a great Archives Month!

DID YOU KNOW? Facts about Florida Supreme Court History

Justice Barkett, the first woman to serve on the Florida Supreme Court, remains in active judicial service at the Iran—United States Claims Tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.

Justice Caldwell also served as governor of Florida from 1945 to 1949.

Justice England helped write the state’s corporate tax amendment to the Florida Constitution in the 1970s, shortly before he was appointed to the court.

Justice Overton’s donation of 123 boxes is the larg-est in the archives at this time, followed by Justice Shaw’s donation of 104 boxes, and Justice Kogan’s donation of 43 boxes.

Justice Sebring was appointed by President Harry Truman to serve as a judge on the Nazi war crimes tribunal. He served eleven months, from October 1946 to the end of August 1947. His transcripts of testimony, issued every day of the trial, were loose sheets of mimeographed documents until the 1950s, when he had them bound into their present book format. His collection consists of 40 volumes of transcripts, 4 photo albums, and 1 box of memo-rabilia.

Justice Shaw served as Florida’s first black Chief Justice from July 1, 1990 to June 30, 1992.

Justice W. Glenn Terrell was the state’s longest-serving justice, from May 15, 1923 to January 11, 1964, a total of 40 years and 8 months.

The Supreme Court Library reaches out to acquire pri-mary documents of Florida Supreme Court history, related to the court and its justices. With the help of the Historical Society, the library preserves, catalogs, and makes these papers available to the justices, the court, scholars and attorneys for research and educa-tional display. It has worked this way for the past thir-ty-two years.
